The narrator, a girl, is singing about a man that she loves that loves someone else.
"every day you can see
changes in her hair and smile
i can wait a million days
while her smile goes away"
every day this man is watching the object of his affection while his admirer is watching him. The narrator can wait a million days while the object of his affection will eventually leave. Maybe the object of his affection is bipolar or depressed.
"sometimes i feel deceived
by the slices in her hands
secrets in her lipstick mouth
Shiny on her again"
The narrator feels deceived by the girl because by the slices in her hand she may be thinks the girl will commit suicide and she'll be gone for good and the man will come to her (mean I know but that's how I see it). And the secrets in her mouth are probably pills like what the others said.
"capture her smile and then that's all
you won't know her so it's okay
funny how things change
funny how things change"
The narrator is saying this to the man she likes that probably sees her as a friend. She's telling him remember her smile and that's it and walk away. Since he doesn't know her and is probably just infatuated with her, it's okay to walk away.
Funny how things change, to me, is the narrator smirking, because the man is all hers now.
That's how I see it. I always saw it like that when I first heard the song.
I read the lyrics like this:

I'm dying to know the story behind this song.
